Trump Repeats Claim of Halting India-Pakistan Conflict Amid Denials from India

US President Donald Trump has reiterated his claim that he helped stop the conflict between India and Pakistan, citing Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's alleged gratitude for saving at least 10 million lives. Trump has made this assertion multiple times since May 2025, linking it to his bid for the Nobel Peace Prize. However, India has consistently denied any third-party mediation, stating the ceasefire was agreed upon directly between military officials following a terror attack. Additionally, Trump acknowledged receiving a Nobel Peace Prize medal from Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, though the Nobel Committee clarified such awards cannot be transferred.
